BEST OF ASIA
BEST BOOKSTORE:ESLITE (TAIPEI, TAIWAN)
----------------------------------------------
FROM SEASIDE FILM FESTIVALS TO 24-HOUR BOOKSTORES, ASIA OFFERS A CAPTIVATING HEAD TRIP
In Taipei, if you ask young locals where to go, they`ll happily tell you to visit the National Palace Museum and various bustling night markets. But, they urge, there`s one other not-to-be-missed hot spot: Eslite Books.
One of the few bookstores in the world open 24 hours a day, Eslite is a wonderfully hospitable space: readers lounge in the aisles, couples cuddle, and, lulled by the steady stream of classical music, some solitary souls fall asleep, staying until sunrise. You can browse more than 3,000 imported magazines, a huge array of art books, and a literature section with about 212,000 Chinese- and English-language titles. The high prices don`t deter customers—many use the store as a library, reading without ever buying.
